All bets will be transmitted direct into the racecourse pool and settled at the original dividends declared at the racecourse. Bets are normally made in US dollars, as is clearly marked on our betting slips for U.S. races. We shall also report the equivalent amount in euros as guidance. The daily rate for the dollar as fixed by the European Central Bank will be used as our basis for calculating the amounts staked and won. As far as your betting account is concerned, nothing will change, and all sums won or lost, as well as paid in or out, will still be given in euros. Some types of American bets are different from those in Europe.
